Officially inaugurated on September 15, 1867, the Galleria's completion took another 10 years of continuous work. Tragically, just one day before it ended, in December 1877, Giuseppe Mengoni died in an accident, falling from the top of the triumphal arch.\n\nDesigned in the shape of a Latin cross, the gallery consists of two glass-arched aisles, the longer of which are 196 meters and the shorter - 105.5 meters long, cut across in a central square shaped octagon beneath an impressive 47-meter-tall, 36-meter-wide glass arch. Combining iron and arched glass, the Galleria's architectural design proved to be a breakthrough in the creation of self-contained shopping malls in the 19th century. Furthermore, the use of iron structures created a sense of inspiration for the Eiffel Tower in Paris."},{"metadata":{"width":576,"height":1024},"type":"video","content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2F2rr70h9hHCdzRi5d2KQV%2FSnaptik_7002144912372256006_ariel-viera.mp4?alt=media&token=d0887a60-2575-4277-966c-19fc797395e2"}]},{"address":"Via Monte Napoleone","location":{"longitudeDelta":0.14321712068773834,"latitudeDelta":0.09219986310369421,"latitude":45.46833381614206,"longitude":9.195133099999987},"media":[{"type":"text","content":"# Via Monte Napoleone"},{"metadata":{"width":564,"height":689},"type":"img","version":1,"content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2F2rr70h9hHCdzRi5d2KQV%2F27fdede112a128ab516ca66bad8230cd.jpg?alt=media&token=39f7510f-b2ca-4ac7-a318-eeafa45a28bc"},{"type":"text","content":"Via Monte Napoleone is particularly famous for its jewelry and ready-to-wear stores.
